    I was so excited for this restaurant. The food was just ok and definitely nothing to write home about. The food had 0 flavor. If you’re going to open a beautiful restaurant in NOLA at least get the food right. The service was horrible. Train your people to have communication skills and at least be able to tell us about the menu. We definitely will not be returning.

    Very sexy vibe, dim lighting, gorgeous view, and attentive polite server. My filet was charred with a beautiful medium center. I give a four star since the grand isle fresh oysters were obviously bad. The smell was of a bad oyster, and one touch of my tongue told me to spit it out. Now, the server replaced those with other varieties of oyster that were fresh and tasted supreme. Also, a table was behind us with many small children that were running through the restaurant screaming. This was not the ambiance we were looking for. We were hoping management would at least try to have the children seated, but no one seemed to care. A table next to us were saying how “obnoxious” this situation was. Even so, I would still try this place again, the good out weighs the bad 👍🏽

    The food was excellent! The cheeseburger offered at lunch but may also be ordered off menu in the evening is one of the best I’ve ever had!
